The Holy Spirit in Personal Experience By D r. R. A. T orrey The Holy Spirit and Missions
Third, Our sphere of life in Christ is now contested. We are in the midst of adversaries, and sometimes their presence is more vividly and awfully real to us than that of our Advocate. Without are fightings, within are fears. However secure in Christ, we feel the danger to he constant and imminent. The five foes of whom we have found the Holy Spirit reminding us, are not slain, nor are they, to cur experience routed. They reappear with such frequency that we are never wholly free from their taunting, torturing presence. What saint, from Paul to Muller, has ever En tirely found conscious liberty from the law in grace! How we need to keep reminding ourselves that we are on Zion, not under Sinai! How perpetually are we shadowed by the sense of condemnation! Who has ever entirely es caped the allurements of the world, so that he is actually dead to its censure or approval, indifferent to its opposition or cooperation, insensible to its attractions and its ridicule? Who is there who is never worldly-minded and finds no need of a new turning of the mirror of the mind from the lower to the higher realm? Has any saint ever found the flesh and the carnal man subdued? The very fact that every one of us finds the flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit contending against the flesh, and that we feel these to be contrary, one to the other, so that we may not, according to the Spirit, do the things that we would, according to the flesh, shows how to the last we have to acknowledge our deliverance to be but partial. Need it be said that the self-life is never wholly destroyed in us while we are in the world? We may think that self is dead, but our very thought is an evidence of its survival, and perhaps a proof of its pride. We slay self in one form, and it seems to be the more alive in every other, until what we think the death of self-praise, proves only the boastfulness of a conscious humility which is proven, by such consciousness, to be no humility at all. Here is the subtlest of our foes, and the most persistent of life, as well as the most multiplied of form. And as to the devil, obviously he is not dead. The saintliest priest of God can not stand at His altar with out the unseen Satanic foe at his right hand to resist him. We go up to the heavenlies in the rapt communion with God, but in the heavenlies are the hostile prin cipalities and powers.' (Eph. 6:10.,). There is no.,escape from the approach of this devouring lion. We may in deed escape his jaws and his paws, but we hear his roar and we tremble as we remember how many in their se curest moments have become his victims. The day will come, when even Death, the last enemy, will be destroyed, and we shall be free to enjoy Him who is our life, without even the presence of a foe. What a life that will be in Him—when the law is forever silenced as our accuser, and Sinai’s summit forever disappears! What a freedom when sin no longer dwells in us, but our very nature is purged of its hateful presence! What a de liverance, when the world to come displaces the world that now is, and 'there are no allurements that draw from God! What a depth, when self gives up the ghost, and the life of Christ is all the life we know! When the flesh and carnal mind are eternally gone, that the Spirit may rule every motion within us! And, when the bottomless pit closes its doors over the adversary of God and man, never again to release him; and, before the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the lion that roars in our path and seeks
